Abstract

We quantize the generalized-Witt algebra in characteristic 0 with its Lie bialgebra structures discovered by Song-Su [G. Song, Y. Su, Lie bialgebras of generalized-Witt type, arXiv: math.QA/0504168, Sci. China Ser. A 49 (4) (2006) 533-544]. Via a modulo p reduction and a modulo "p-restrictedness" reduction process, we get 2n - 1 families of truncated p-polynomial noncocommutative deformations of the restricted universal enveloping algebra of the Jacobson-Witt algebra W (n ; under(1, {combining low line})) (for the Cartan type simple modular restricted Lie algebra of W type). They are new families of noncommutative and noncocommutative Hopf algebras of dimension p1 + n pn in characteristic p. Our results generalize a work of Grunspan [C. Grunspan, Quantizations of the Witt algebra and of simple Lie algebras in characteristic p, J. Algebra 280 (2004) 145-161] in rank n = 1 case in characteristic 0. In the modular case, the argument for a refined version follows from the modular reduction approach (different from [C. Grunspan, Quantizations of the Witt algebra and of simple Lie algebras in characteristic p, J. Algebra 280 (2004) 145-161]) with some techniques from the modular Lie algebra theory.
